Welcome to Gaia! ::

Ingwe fled from his chasers, wondering why he had listened to Serri. They'd met like this.. he'd been dragged into the other boys pace and almost gotten charged with theft... So why, just why, had he gone along and allowed himself to agree to this inane idea? Oh wait, it's cause it sounded fun; Ingwe thought bitterly as he turned a corner and scampered up the side of a garden wall
I promise, great wind spirit, to behave and not follow Serri's bad influence anymore! Promise! Just let me escape! He prayed feverishly as he heard the voices and foot falls of his pursuers approach.
Landing on the other side he spotted a girl. Drat drat drat! He thought before grabbing her and pulling her through the open door into the house, his hand over her mouth. She coul yell and give him away! He did not want to be caught... even if he didn't have any of the stolen goods on him, they knew he was with Serri!

"Don't yell please!" He whispered. "I'm not suspicious! Well... I am but ... I don't mean harm!"
He shut up as he heard the angry voices.

"Split up! Some follow the alley, someone check the garden and house!"

Ingwe was relived when the girl didn't try to struggle or resist. Made this a whole lot easier! She was also, happily enough, chill enough to be calm despite his sudden appearance and actions.

"Uh... some.. guys... that I... Well I didn't steal from them, but kinda... distracted them while a friend did." He sighed and ran a finger over the spiked stones that lined his forehead. "Really shouldn't have listened to him... But it sounded fun!" His mother, he was certain, would be pissed that he was doing this. Good thing she'll never know...

He crawled over to a different wall to peek out the window and spotted some of the men who'd been chasing him. Drat...
"You ah... mind if I stay here a while? They appear to have some waiting outside... Guess these ones are waiting for the chasers to come back.."

"It sounded like fun.. but then things usually do." Ingwe sighed. "And fun things usually end up with a mess afterwards..." His tone was rather mournful; why did the fun things have to end in disasters? Maybe he was going about it wrong?

He gave a wry smile and shook his head when she mentioned hunting; "I am terrible at hunting... lousy aim with thrown weapons and too noisy to sneak..."

He gave her a quizzical look; "You're really chill about all this." He waved a hand; "and are asking a stranger that's obviously not uhhh... doing the right thing to go hunting with you?" he probably wouldn't... but then he normally had to rely on traps and snares to gather food.

"Umm... just hide? Try not to attract notice?" He said as he peeked out the window to see some had returned. And hope they don't look in here....
